Elsewhere in Yorkshire, thundery showers are on the cards, but Leeds looks clear according to forecasters.

From tonight, temperatures will stay mild, with clear skies for many before cloud drifts in from the west in the early hours - meaning there’ll be little respite from the heat.

The Met Office is urging people to take care, stay hydrated, and keep an eye on vulnerable neighbours as the city swelters under the fierce summer sun.
